Programming examples - Helicopter models
Note:
More more information about the setting of this
“emergency shutoff”, see further in this section.
Another tip:
Make a habit of giving all switches a common switch-
on direction; then a quick glance over the transmitter
prior to the flight should suffice – all switches off.
Setting options for the “Autorotation C1 position”,
“Motor stop” and “Stick warning” are not yet of par-
ticular interest …
… and you should only leave or set the “Auto timer
reset” line to “yes” if you actually want the timers to
be reset to the appropriate initial value every time you
switch the transmitter on.
Additional settings specific to helicopters are made in
the menu …
»Helicopter type« (page 108)
In the “Swashplate type” line, select control for
swashplate or pitch function. In this example:
“3Sv(2rol)”.
The “Linearis. swashpl.” line is not yet of interest.
In the “Rotor direction” line, it is established whether
the rotor – as viewed from above – turns to the right
(clockwise) or left (counter-clockwise). In other words,
whether it rotates counterclockwise or clockwise. In
this example “right”.
Check the default for “Pitch min”, which was adopted
from »Basic settings«, to confirm that the entry
“front” or “rear” is in keeping with personal prefer-
ences or should be changed:

After entering the “Model name”, the settings adopt-
ed from »Basic settings« for “Stick mode” and “DSC
Output” are to be checked and changed as neces-
sary for the given memory location.
Another option is to be activated in the “Autorotation”
line. Even if you are not an advanced pilot, the autoro-
tation switch should at least be set as an emergency
shutoff switch for the motor.
Do this by selecting the “Autorotation” line with a
brief tap on the center SET key of the right touch
pad, activate the switch assignment, assign a 2-way
switch, e. g. “7”, and put it in its “ON” position:

The selected switch should be in a location on the
transmitter which is easily within reach – without let-
ting loose of a stick – e. g. above the pitch stick.

Note:
Please note that on the newer Graupner-mc- and
mx- remote control systems, the first pitch servo and
the throttle servo are swapped in comparison to some
older systems.
Mix ratios and mix directions for swashplate pitch, roll
and nick servos are already pre-adjusted to +61 % in
